Amsterdam; city of style, great people and freedom… shame about the disabled access! All the streets in the main city area are cobbled and the road system of cars/buses/trams/motorbikes/scooters/bikes is bewildering. They come at you from all directions! It doesn’t help that when you decide to place yourself in a restaurant away from the chaos…

The bar looked inviting with leather Chesterfields and we didn’t…
